So a while ago I asked in a thread if it's possible to get an old beige computer case and shove new components into it. This is because I can't find any new beige cases that will work for me.
I happened to find a 5150 computer with an AT keybard included for 90 dollars, shipping to me is 60 dollars.

Would it be "sacrilege" to put my components inside this (mini ITX, nvidia 960, SSD and HDD since the 5150 is already a parts machine?
Is the cost worth it?

Get a beige ATX case you mongrel, there are loads just headed for the dump.

Cooling in old cases is probably very poor for todays components

well it depends how lazy you are, i'm assuming you just want to slap shit into it and that's not going to work out well. if you know how to do metal fab work then it's a different story

Builds like this are fun if you have some basic diy/hobby skills. If you don't know how to use a drill or dremel you're going to have a hard time.
Just make sure you don't throw any of the original parts away, sell them or donate them.
